We carry almost nothing in the way of food. Snickers bars, toffee peanuts maybe. Not much more. We buy what we'll need for dinner at the last town and eat breakfast in the first restaurant we come to. Which might be a while, hence the bars and peanuts. Or maybe we'll pick up a pastry at that last grocery store and have that for breakfast. If we're going to stay somewhere for a while, we'll buy provisions to last the length of our stay and toss or give away anything left over. Carrying food on the bike is a total PITA in our opinion. OTOH we've never crossed hundreds of miles of desert, so there's that. We try to route so that there's at least some minor civilized outpost to be encountered every day. Sometimes we don't even carry a stove so that we're forced to eat with the local inhabitants. That's rather nice. Travel is really all about the people not the place.
